------- Additional comments from [email protected] Fri Jul 10 22:54:56 +0000 2009 ------- Running XP Home Version 2002 with Service pack 3[all updates], on a PC. [AMD Athlon 1.68GHz , 1.21 GB of RAM. I have problem with speed of OO, and soffice.bin hogging CPU. This may be a repeat of issue 60450 but I did not fully understand the issue description The problem was first noticed immediately after installing OO 3.0.0. replacing OO. 2.4.1.[I need it as I sometimes need to open .docx and .xlsx files]. Before 3.0.0 speed was not an issue. After noticing the slow speed of opening files and printing, I re-installed OO2.4.1 for use with all except these new microsoft files [which I save as .odt files before printing], but the speed problem remained. I next installed extra memory, and cleared out un-needed files from the hard disc. I thought the print speed might be caused by my printer driver [Epson Stylus D92], so I downloaded new driver and installed that. The problem remains. Since then I have used Task Manager to try to identify the problem. It seems , looking at processes, that soffice.bin hogs the CPU. Example of slow printing [with no other programs except firewall and antivirus, which I have been using for some time before this problem arose, and which are not , it seems , consuming CPU while I am using OO.]: No other files open in OO while doing these timings. The attached .ods file was originally created using OO3.0.0..build 9358 ]. With OO 3.0.0. the file took 5 mins to print. Throughout the wait for print to occur, soffice.bin uses70-100% CPU, 126,125K Mem usage, shows “not responding” in task manager . It needed 90secs before the print dialogue appears. Commit Charge 515M/1823M, then a further 3.5 mins, with soffice.bin still using 80-100% CPU, before appearing in printer window, then rapid printing. While waiting for printing , if any files are open with OO, none can be used, as the program, [calc and writer] are “not responding”. I saved the file then re-opening with OO2.4.1. It took 2mins to open with OO2.4.1. soffice.bin using 80-100% CPU . No other process was showing more than 2%. Printing , took 90 secs to open printer dialogue, a further 5.0 mins to appear in printer window, when it printed within a few seconds. All the wait time soffice.bin was hogging 80 to 100% of CPU. No other process showed any significant activity in task manager. I tried a similar exercise with the attached spreadsheet. This arrived by email as .xlsx file , so was opened with OO 3.0.0. It has 8 sheets and took 1 min 20 secs to open. I saved it as .odt file, edited the first sheet and printed just the first sheet. . This needed 1 min 30 secs for the print dialogue and a total 6 mins 45 secs before printing. What , if anything can I do. ? Printing text, [unformated] I now use Notepad but I have no reasonable method to print text with formating or spreadsheets. I would attach the files but I cannot see how to do this --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
